Title: My TNT winter project
Post by: ED209 on September 19, 2015, 03:34 PM
My daughter has out-grown her Auburn JR20-RX and is not quite big enough for the WTP Justice I picked up for her ... so to bridge the gap I'm working on a mid 90s TNT Pro.

Picked up the frame from BMX Museum and a couple of parts ... chucked it all together last night to see how it looks  8)

Need to carefully remove the decals so Del can reproduce them as he only has the old style ones ... I'm already lovin it tho  :popcorn:

A strip of thin neoprene with velcro and a brandname or other. Popular around 1991, "headcase" was a popular  moniker.
